1984 Jetta , TDI WE MUST! (1.9 AHU M-TDI)

Maybe try hooking up those three glowplugs.  It can't hurt.

Yes I am pretty sure I felt my 210mm clutch slip on Friday.. its brand new too.. lol!

Efficiency does have its down falls I suppose. Funny part? My DieHard-V8-fanboy best friend, chastises the cars inability to make heat for several miles of driving.. I'm like yeah, it IS THAT more efficient than your supposed 50mpg 2012 gas engine..

I was going to be hooking those up some day after work this week. A nice light up switch, and a relay under the hood.

There is a harness kit u can get for glow plugs I think geebee used it in his caddy it has something to do with ford

Fortunately, GeeBee has money for perfection.

I will very easily make up my own system that will work for what is needed. Each plug is like 9 amps, so a 40 amp automotive relay should have no problems with that load.

The service manual had some thing to say about how they turned on and the different combinations that they turn on in and showed the relays that operate them i could send you a photo of it.

good thing about efficiency less heat less wear longer engine life  

Personal i was looking at some ones Toyota swap where he made his own coolant flange witch totally deleted that whole cluster of wires plugs and sensors looks like it would make for some good bay cleaning. Down here in Florida it doesn't get that cold so ill probably end up ripping those out.

erg delete kit, water pump, timing belt and tools should be here tomorrow thanks Metalnerd and Diesel Geek.

I cant seem to find a decent source for oem engine parts i need a complete gasket set and have read horrible things about hans diesel and was looking at going with parts place inc but have also read bad things about them  

sorry to drop in on your thread again ill start my own soon just want to get the project a little off the floor first and have my parts gathered.

Told you about that TDI heat. Sucks doesn't it?

Steve G, I would take that GP water neck off your hands if you are not using it.

I have a couple extras Lucas.  The glowplugs out of the idi's work in them too.

i don't remember it being expensive.  The vw relay is actually really cheap i think i got one for 30 bucks new, then all you'd have to do is build a harness.  not sure what you're planning, we all know a manual switch works just as well haha.

[RabbitJockey]

did a quick search and i didn't see it anywhere anymore

[8v-of-fury]

Lucas, The hell you need heat for in holmes county?? LoL.

I will be doing up my wiring this weekend hopefully for all my under hood stuff. Got a nasty nasty ground issue I am dealing with.

Gonna be golden. All I have to do after that is move my fuel lines and filter back to the passenger side and call it done for now.

Mr. TRAV i will be doing a manual setup for sure.

It can get below zero in neoh and central oh.

[theman53]

Yeah I have been low of 28 and high of 37 for the last couple days. The rest of the week it is supposed to warm up to 45. But pretty much from Dec - Feb it is highs in the high 20s and lows wherever. On colder years it will get down further. 3 years ago in Jan. we had a high of -5 and low of -22...this is all in F...which stands for Fing cold.

Obviously it isn't winnepeg but it can get cold.

Lucas you want a new neighbour?? Those temps are my favourite!!!
